Happy new year to all my wonderful readers! I wish you all the very best for 2008.
I’ve had a couple resolutions on my mind these past few days, and one of them is daily blogging (perhaps with the exception of Sunday). I know, I know, sounds a little over-ambitious. But I’m definitely not enjoying the whole once-a-month schedule, so things are going to change one way or the other.
So, what’s your new years resolution?
Hey there! Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you like what you see. If so, you can thank me by subscribing to my RSS feed.

The Helvetica Film that I ordered a few months ago has finally arrived. Yay!
I’ve gone ahead and taken some photos of the DVD and included bonus items — pictures after the jump.
I’ll post up a brief review of the DVD when I’ve watched it.

Made some small adjustments to the wp-typogrify README file (mainly bug fix info). Head on over, to check it out.
I’ve been looking into Adobe AIR recently, and this line in the developer’s manual gave me a chuckle.
[…] most errors and alerts can be handled in the normal window display order. (Please refer to the AIR end user license agreement (EULA) for information on AIR’s suitability for time-critical applications such as aircraft and nuclear power plant control.)
OK, I know they’re not suggesting anything. I mean, who in their right mind would use AIR for something as critical aircraft/nuclear plan control? But I just found it funny that it was even hinted at. You never know, of course, maybe one day. I betcha’ those nuclear plants use really old software (albeit tried and tested) that could really use a breath of fresh AIR.
Update: Well, it looks like the post by Adam was actually really old. (Jul 2) — why is Google Reader showing me feeds this far back…? Hmm. Anyways, I still hold my opinion.
Adam Howell hit’s it right on the nose with his latest post. Archive.org’s Wayback machine should store full page images instead of HTML code. So many sites — some dating back to over ten years ago! — are borked because of missing images and broken code.
A few problems with this idea:
It’s too late to save the ones that have come and gone, but for future storage I can see this as very possible solution.
